have a quick look through the threads smoothie posted up.
you will see over his 3+ years on the forum every deal he did was shady and people lost out or are still owed.
one guy was owed over 1000 bitcoins and that story just came to light recently.
he told everyone how he "lost his ass" paying back everyone but as he said it people came forward again and he did not honour his agreements a few years ago.
he bought a lambo and a wife so he made a fair bit of profit. sounds like he had a tough time
the rice farmer story is good to. nothing like exploiting poor asian farmers to get the lambo faster!
